Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[woodchip rookie]

So that's what a Cowcat looks like, are they dangerous?

Deadly. They have hollow teeth like rattlesnakes and poisonous spikes on their tail.

The only sports I've been watching lately are the "Homelite Rules Tractor Draggin Wood Races".

Yep, until the money/greed ruins it just like all the other sports.

They already did, look what happened to Homelite, now they are no better than a Wood Shark.

At 68* murican I wouldn't dream of lighting the fire. That's still shorts and t-shirt weather.

When you've had a few months of 100-110 murican, 68 (inside) is positively freezing. It was in the 50s °F outside today.

She has mellowed a bit with age but sure taught the kids to be nice to animals. She's a good mouser so she earns her keep.

Who's Your pick in Khabib/Ferguson? McGregor was the down fall of UFC in my mind feeding him midgets at 145 and acting like he's amazing. If he fought at 155 his whole career he'd be just another also ran. They need to end all the **** talking a get back to just fighting.

Khabib has to make it to the fight first. If Ferguson can stop Khabib's take downs he can win but I don't know if that is possible. Khabib might be the best there has ever been when it comes to ground control. Although Tony is pretty slick on the ground. Those 10th planet guys are not your normal BJJ practitioners. They drill odd submissions from odd positions. Should be a good one.

Connor is legit at 145. Think he gets mauled by Khabib and Ferguson at 155 though.

IMO, legitimate boxers would take them out. There is a reason boxers wear gloves, it is because they could cause far too much damage w/o them.

Can't see anyone in that other stuff having a career.

Been a weird march. Weird winter for that matter. About half our annual snowfall and the last few weeks have been sunny and nary a flake of snow. Everyone has been doing wood while the ground is still frozen. I split for a while last night but the wind was cold. Jammed a piece of plywood on my tractor as a wind break. Went down to -8 C last night so I’m not in a hurry to get out there this morning. A cousin called last night and says he has two big dead elm for me. We will see, sometimes big means 12”

If you put an mma guy in a boxing match he loses. Old man Maywether proved that with conor. In the cage no pure boxer makes it out of the first round against someone with high level kicks or a good ground game. Choked out or crippled by leg kicks in under 3 minutes.

No scrounging for me lately to busy building a new firewood shed, it's 12'x30' so It will take some filling

Talk about crippled, I dropped a split on my instep last night while splitting. I said some stuff and hopped around in a circle for a minute then was fine. Woke up at five am and my foot is killing me! I’ll live but dang!

Nice shed! Can’t build anything bigger than 100sqft here without a permit. Are you in Ireland?

yeah in Ireland, technically I need government permission to build it, but there's a loop hole where if it looks like it's bolted to concrete, it's classed as a movable structure and I don't need permission for that

Bring back the days of Randy Couture, Matt Hughes, Royce Gracie and Chuck Liddell. No BS. To quote the old Nike commercial, Just Do It! I know Dana White did a great job of making the UFC big but going the way of WWE sucks.

We are planning a trip to Ireland in October. Got a friend at school in limerick but plan to do some sightseeing. Any advice on things to do is appreciated.

So you

We are planning a trip to Ireland in October. Got a friend at school in limerick but plan to do some sightseeing. Any advice on things to do is appreciated.

so you'll be in limerick then, it's a nice city with plenty to see and do but if was in the mood for a real Irish pub, visit jimmy the Mills in Co Tipperary, its only open on a Thursday, it's full of locals that play trad music, it's basically a front room of a house that has a bar, the barman gets paid in drink. It was voted best pub in Ireland for a while and theres no closing time, I could go on and on, definitely worth a visit

 

[JustJeff]

Very good. That sounds like fun.

 

[nighthunter]

its hard to describe it properly but if you visit it, it's definitely
worth the trip

Correct. You’re probably not going to out strike a boxer, he’ll take your head off. The boxer isn’t versed to defend a wheel house kick, a rear naked choke and on his back he would be a turtle.
